MEG investigator suspended

A top investigator with the area drug crime enforcement unit has been suspended for misconduct while a disciplinary process is completed.

Greg Weitz, a detective with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office who is assigned to the Lake Winnebago Metropolitan Enforcement Group, has been suspended without pay, according to Winnebago County Sheriff John Matz.

Matz said Tuesday that he is unable to detail the specifics of the suspension due to it being a personnel matter.

Brad Dunlap, the special agent in charge of MEG, was not available for comment.

Weitz has been employed by the sheriff's office for 18 years and has been assigned to the MEG since 2004.

Matz said he expects the disciplinary proceedings to be complete by the end of the month.
